Flushing Meadows-Corona Park

Everything you need to know about visiting Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (Grand Central Pkwy to Van Wyck Expwy between Roosevelt Ave and Robinson Pkwy, Queens, New York.

The largest park in Queens (and fourth largest park in all of New York City) has a little something for everyone, from jocks to artists: green...

Like many parts of Queens, Flushing Meadows Corona Park has seen more than a hundred years of exciting historical evolution. The area was an ash and refuse dump in the 1910s, the inspiration for The Great Gatsby’s “valley of ashes.” Reborn after years of toil, it rose into the magnificent centerpiece of the 1939 World’s Fair. Since then the park has hosted the original location of the United Nations, the 1964 World’s Fair, the U.S. Open tennis championships, and endless family events, children's activities, and attractions. It's arguably the main family attraction among many in Flushing.

The city's second largest park offers everything you'd want out of a green space, and more than a few things you'd never imagine. See the profile of this NYC attraction in Queens.
